Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

Steamed turbot, pork elbow, meatballs, spicy chicken, roast chicken with potatoes, seaweed salad, steamed vermicelli, shredded radish salad, assorted tofu, butterfly peas (green beans and peas that are blanched and then fried),

There are ten dishes in total. Although less meat is used except for the pork elbow, it has to be said that they are all produced by a master. Even if there is less meat, the taste is not inferior at all and it is still delicious.

Zhang Xiaoyan originally planned to just taste it. After all, she didn't have to worry about food and drink, unlike other people who had to wait for the banquet to replenish their oil and water. But it really proved the old saying that nothing tasted better than the one you rushed to eat.

Looking at the people at the table eating with their chopsticks here and there, until the chopsticks were almost invisible, Zhang Xiaoyan unconsciously ate a few more pieces. In the end, she mustered her willpower to hold back.

After all, the people at the table were Aunt Sun, and there was also Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang in front. They dealt with each other regularly and she thought they were all pretty good. How could she snatch away the opportunity to make money that they hadn't had for so long?

"Swallow, eat quickly! You won't be full like this."

Aunt Sun was eating with relish. She had just picked up a piece of chicken leg with her chopsticks and was about to put it into her mouth, but then she saw Zhang Xiaoyan standing there. Thinking that she was frightened by the way they ate, she embarrassedly put the meat into Zhang Xiaoyan's bowl and urged her to eat. However, she didn't wait for her to say anything and went back to eating.

Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the extra chicken pieces that suddenly appeared in the bowl, and then looked at her little grandson next to Aunt Sun. The little guy was standing next to Aunt Sun, gnawing on a chicken bone.

There is no rule about letting children sit at the table at this time. Only adults come, and at most two people. Of course, it is okay to bring grandchildren, but if they want to take up one person's seat, it would be a bit inconvenient, so children usually stand next to adults and wait for them to feed them.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just poverty. In a time when supplies were really scarce, He Daqing didn't know how long it took to collect all the meat and vegetables for the eight tables. This was under the condition that he had a certain ability. If it were someone else, it would be good enough to collect enough for two tables. This did not include condiments such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which were also certain consumables.

Zhang Xiaoyan picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a meatball from another bowl, and handed it to Aunt Sun's grandson with the chopsticks.

"Here, Xiao Shuanzi, take this meatball and eat it. Be careful not to burn yourself."

"Thank you, Aunt Yi."

Xiao Shuanzi was well-educated and very polite. He didn't forget to say thank you when he took the chopsticks.

Of course, Mrs. Jia was also at Zhang Xiaoyan's table. However, unlike what is described in other novels, Mrs. Jia did not eat like a crab crossing the street. Although her movements were a little faster and she used chopsticks more frequently, it was normal at this time.

But think about it, Jia Dongxu is still alive, for the sake of her son's reputation, she can't be so shameless.

At the banquet, Zhang Xiaoyan's table had already cleared out the food in less than 20 minutes. The table of Li Mei's parents were almost done too. The only remaining tables were those that were drinking. The dishes had not even been half consumed, and everyone was either playing finger-guessing games and drinking, or bragging.

It was even worse at the main table. He Yuzhu and his wife had probably been instructed so when they made the first toast they toasted Zhang Xiaoyan and her table first, and then they went to other tables in turn.

Zhang Xiaoyan saw Li Mei being sent to the bridal chamber after a round of toasts, and she never saw her come out since then.

"You've eaten the rain."

"Yeah! Actually, I'm not that hungry either. I just ate something."

He Yushui came over and whispered. What she didn't say was that there was another reason. She was afraid of being embarrassed in front of her sister-in-law's family, so she didn't dare to eat too much. She just wanted to wait until everyone left and find some leftovers to eat.

"I just saw your sister-in-law go to the bridal chamber and haven't come out since. I'm afraid she hasn't eaten and just drank some wine. Why don't you go and ask her? If she hasn't eaten, send her some food. Besides, even if she has eaten alone, you can chat with her for a while. After all, she is your sister-in-law and we will be family in the future, so we have to get along well."

"Sister Yanzi, please come with us! I feel a little uncomfortable alone."

"Didn't you go out with Li Mei and the others? Why are you still uncomfortable?"

"Don't mention it. I only went there twice. Each time, my brother gave me two dollars. I couldn't help but take the money, so I didn't go."

He Yushui said this somewhat embarrassedly, and Zhang Xiaoyan was also left speechless by this pair of siblings.

"Well, let's go together."

Li Mei drank a lot of wine and felt dizzy. She had never drunk much and felt a little uncomfortable, so she went back to her room. She was lying on the bed in a daze when she heard the door open.

"Sister-in-law, you didn't eat just now, you must be hungry, I brought you some food."

The two went to the kitchen and He Yushui put some of the dishes from the banquet on a large tea tray, and then took a bowl of rice to the bridal chamber.

"Rainwater! I feel a little dizzy. Maybe I drank too much."

Li Mei was dizzy but still sat up from the bed. Zhang Xiaoyan walked over and supported her.

"This is a hangover pill. If you take it, you won't feel so bad."

He took out a sobering pill from the space and stuffed it directly into the other person's mouth. Before Li Mei could react, she felt something stuffed in her mouth. She chewed it twice reflexively and the pill disappeared.

But I did feel much better the next moment.

"Thank you! I remember your name is Zhang Xiaoyan, and you are Yu Shui's good friend. I am so sorry! Hurry and sit down. Are you full just now? Why don't you eat something together?"

"No need, we've already eaten. Sister Yanzi came in because she saw you were drunk. We probably thought you didn't eat, so we brought the food to you. You should eat it while it's hot!"

He Yushui said this and sat down on the chairs next to them with Zhang Xiaoyan.

It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. Li Mei felt her eyes getting warm. She thought that her sister-in-law was kind-hearted and easy to get along with, and that her life would not be difficult in the future. She agreed repeatedly and sat on the stool.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Li Mei was indeed hungry. It would have been fine if she hadn't seen anything. But now that she saw such a sumptuous meal, she couldn't help herself. After saying a few polite words, she sat down and started eating.

The only sounds in the room were the sounds of Li Mei eating. Zhang Xiaoyan had never dealt with a bride before, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

He Yushui watched her sister-in-law eating with relish. She wasn't full to begin with, so she couldn't help but sneak into the kitchen and bring back two steamed buns. She ate them with Li Mei, and from time to time she would say that the dish was a little cold and not as delicious as when it was hot.
